   During the past decade, federal homelessness policies have failed to stem   
   the growing desperation among America’s homeless, and by most metrics, it   
   appears to have only added to their suffering.   
      
   This is largely because federal policies are focused on the Housing First   
   strategy. Housing First policies give individuals taxpayer-funded housing   
   benefits without any requirements for participation in mental health,   
   substance abuse, and other stability programs.   
      
   THE SOLUTION   
   States should create pressure in key areas and leverage funding to de-   
   emphasize Housing First programs and instead foster innovative state-level   
   approaches to homelessness alleviation.   
      
   Specific solutions include:   
      
      
   States should also:   
      
   Expand and improve short-term housing   
   Create accountability for long-term housing   
   Respond to crime   
   Improve data and performance measures   
      
   WHY IT MATTERS   
   Two decades of failed Housing First models have plunged our communities   
   and homeless residents deeper into despair.   
      
      
      
   THE BOTTOM LINE:   
   States must reassert their autonomy over homelessness policies and   
   incentivize communities to reject Housing First in favor of programs that   
   have long-term benefits that help individuals rebuild their lives.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.   
      
   Every day is an IQ test. Some pass, some, not so much.   
      
   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
